Abstract
A brake assist system for a vehicle has a pressure sensor adapted to be affixed to a brake pedal of the vehicle, a brake actuator connected to the brake of the vehicle, and a controller connected or interconnected to the pressure sensor and to the brake actuator. The pressure sensor measures a pressure applied by a foot of a user of the vehicle upon the brake pedal and to produce an output signal proportional to the pressure applied. The brake actuator applies a force to the brake of the vehicle. The controller converts the output signal of the pressure sensor to a signal for moving the brake actuator. The brake actuator is a servomotor. The controller is adjustable so as to change a signal from the brake actuator relative to the output signal of the pressure sensor.
Claims20
A brake assist system for a vehicle, the brake assist system comprising:
- a pressure sensor adapted to be affixed to a brake pedal of the vehicle, said pressure sensor for measuring a pressure applied by a foot of a user upon the brake pedal and to produce an output signal proportional to the measured pressure;
- a brake actuator connected to the brake of the vehicle, said brake actuator for applying a force to the brake of the vehicle;
- and
- a controller connected or interconnected to said pressure sensor and to said brake actuator, said controller converting the output signal of said pressure sensor to a signal for moving said brake actuator.
A braking system for a vehicle, the braking system comprising:
- a vehicle having a brake pedal in an interior thereof, the brake pedal being connected to a brake system of the vehicle so as to apply a braking force to the wheel or to the brake disc of the vehicle in relation to a pressure applied to the brake pedal;
- a pressure sensor affixed to the brake pedal of said vehicle, said pressure sensor for measuring the pressure applied by a foot of a user upon the brake pedal and the produce an output signal proportional to the pressure measured;
- a brake actuator connected to the brake system of said vehicle, said brake actuator for applying a force to the brake pedal of said vehicle;
- and
- a controller connected or interconnected said pressure sensor and to said brake actuator, said controller converting the output signal of said pressure sensor to a signal for moving said brake actuator.
